Quenched long order

Chapter 77

The Stewart was getting farther and farther away from the island, and the island gradually turned into the pattern on the banknotes, small and peaceful. At this moment, it seemed that all the blood and tears were integrated with the island and became part of the memory.

However, the weather was getting worse and worse. After a purple lightning flash, there were bursts of thunder, and the rain also became heavier. From drizzle to moderate rain, and then from moderate rain to heavy rain, within a few breaths, the soldiers and crew who were still watching the island on the deck hid in the cabin one after another.

One person didn't move at all.

This person is not an insignificant soldier, but the commander Haver who has been stationed on the island all year round.

"I won't go!" The commander was still standing on the railing of the deck, holding onto the railing tightly with both hands, and kept looking at Stewart Island, which was gradually disappearing into the distance. No matter how the crew members persuaded him, he remained motionless, as if he had a strange paranoia.

Is it a commemorative ceremony?After all, for him, the island is also a part of life.

Shaoer thought to himself, he looked at the commander silently, frowning slightly, combined with the commander's performance just now, he thought the situation might not be as simple as imagined.

Whether it was scolding with the soldiers who were left on the island just now, or standing on the deck in the face of the storm, the commander showed a completely different character from his usual calmness. This change may be caused by leaving the island, but no matter how you think about it, it will not reach the point of rigidity.

"Could it be..." Shaoer had a guess in his mind, although for ordinary soldiers, this guess might offend the commander, but for him, it was just a suitable guess.

...The Commander is also contaminated?If so, did the inspectors not find out?Or did you find out already, but didn't tell others?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the commander a few more times.

Afterwards, Sauer watched the inspector walk out of the cabin. This bald man in a black uniform was walking towards the commander against the wind and rain.

The inspector shouted the commander's name in the wind and rain, trying to attract the attention of his old friend. However, perhaps because of the heavy rain, the commander didn't hear it, and was still yelling at the crew around him.

Due to the rain, Saul couldn't see the commander's face very clearly, but he could see the commander's body movements of slapping the crew members around him, without any intention of holding back his hands. He suspected that if the commander had a sword in his hand now, he would probably slash at the crew members beside him without hesitation.

The commander is surprisingly angry now, as if there is endless resentment in his heart, and the unwillingness and shame accumulated in his heart for years are released in this torrential rain. He starts to beat the crew around him. Seeing this, the crew had to slowly back away from their respected officer.

"Saul!" The inspector turned his head and called out Saul's name, "Come and help!"

Saul thought for a while, he was still on the boat, and he was still not free, so he walked into the heavy rain, letting the big raindrops fall on his body, he felt completely soaked after walking a few steps, but his pace was not fast, partly because of the heavy rain, partly because he wanted to see how the inspector would treat the commander.

The question of the Ombudsman came to his mind last night.

Now, this difficult problem is before the eyes of the inspectors.

The Overseer turned his head away, still calling the Commander's name as he quickened his pace.

Suddenly, the commander seemed to have sensed something, and stopped yelling at the soldiers around him, but turned his head suddenly to look in the direction of Stewart Island. Then, the officer in his 50s, as if he was crazy, let out piercing screams.

The soldiers who were still hesitating to step forward to stop them all stopped their movements. They stared at the commander beside the railing with wide eyes. If they could have used some reasons to deceive themselves just now, but now, they started to be afraid, starting to fear the middle-aged man in front of them.

In the next second, the commander supported the railing with both hands, and jumped directly from the deck, into the tumbling waves, into the bottomless ocean.

In this scene, whether it was the crew on the deck, the crew in the cabin, or even the inspector who was rushing past, they were completely shocked by what happened before them.

Jumping into the sea in this torrential rain is almost tantamount to seeking death.

"Hover!" The inspector ran over quickly, but it was too late. He held on to the railing with both hands and looked down, but there was no sign of his old friend on the sea surface. His eyes kept searching on the sea surface, hoping to see a picture that would make him feel at ease. However, there was still nothing. He turned his head and shouted to the soldiers and crew behind him: "Stop the boat, go down and find him!"

Sauer took a deep breath. If he was just suspicious just now, he is almost sure that the commander has indeed been contaminated.

"But last night was obviously normal..."

He muttered, suddenly, he realized something, and immediately ran towards the cabin.

If the commander was normal last night, but went crazy after leaving the island today, then Garland, who was also polluted, would most likely be like the commander.

Saul ran quickly in the aisle of the cabin, and soon came to the door of Garland's room. Then, he knocked on the door and shouted Garland's name loudly.

"Garland!"

Inside the door, there was no response.

He quickly took out the key, opened the door, and looked into the room.

Garland was sitting on the bed with his back to the door, muttering non-stop, sometimes high, sometimes low, and occasionally dry laughter.

Under the bed, the Gu Ling Array still emits a faint white light.

"Garland, how do you feel now?" Saul asked worriedly, he felt his heart in his throat.

Hearing Saul's voice, Garland turned his head slowly.

Seeing Garland's side profile, Saul felt a lot more at ease, and his frown relaxed. However, he didn't feel almost suffocated until he saw Garland's neck turn a full 180 degrees.

At this moment, for some reason, the hull began to shake.

Saul held on to the door frame to stabilize his balance.

Garland hit his head against the wall because of the shaking, and passed out.

Seeing this, Saul immediately closed the door, picked up the rope he had already prepared, and tied Garland firmly to the bed. He hoped that he would not need to use this tool. However, the situation did become more uncertain as he feared.

There was a knock on the door, and the voice of the mystic came from outside the door.

Saul opened the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the nervous face of the mystic.

"Do you know what happened?" the mystic asked, glancing at Garland who was bound to the bed.

"The commander jumped off the boat..." Saul told the mystic what he had just discovered.

"What?" The mystic was full of surprise. "I just heard a crew member say that the ship is sinking. I don't know if it's true."
